Baby Slings and Baby Screams

by misscapatosta on March 15, 2010

I’m not sure about you, but I could barely get my son dressed in his onesie, let alone figure out how to insert him into a baby sling. He was far too squirmy…and colicky…and never slept. As much as I yearned to be one of those mothers who carried their sleeping baby around with a sling, nestled in close to their chest, it looks like my son’s lack of cooperation may have been his saving grace...

Night Terrors

by NineMonthstoLife on March 15, 2010

I think I bragged a little too much about our incredible sleeping baby. Adelyn spent the last week sleeping in consistent six, sometimes seven and a half hour stretches, and I let this fact be known. To everyone. People who asked and people who could care less...

Could Your Child Be Abusing Inhalants?

by Momversation on March 12, 2010

A recent report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration shows that 12-year-olds are now using inhalants more than cocaine, hallucinogens, and marijunan combined. The reason? Availability. Common household products from air fresheners to shoe polish can be huffed for a short-lived but intense high.

A Reluctant Charlotte

by NineMonthstoLife on March 12, 2010

It's hard to go back and really think about how upset I was when I first found out I was pregnant, now that she's here, now that I love her so much. But I'm reminded every now and then of those first two weeks. Those terrifying weeks when my whole world was turned upside down.

I have on a red, brown, and white dress over a brown slip, brown knee boots, and little white cardigan with pearls to top it off. Cute, right? Well, in theory, yes. Until I got to work and realized that I do not have on brown tights, but black ones. Yes, BLACK ones. Nice...
